Masts and sails in place for trial fitting.
Next cutting back the nest of long boats to reduce them downto one.
A sheet of glasspaper and a good rubbing on the underside should do the trick.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Ships boats reduced to two and glued in place.
Also undercoat on all new work and modified surfaces prior to painting.
Today I will start detailing the sails.

Slight change of plan. Today I completed the painting of the hull.

Today's work on the sails is completed.
Just a matter of attatching to the ship now.

Did you tape off to paint the stripes? Are there stripes on the other side as well?Originally Posted by Bligh

Morning Dobbs.
I cut masking tape down the middle and then painted the red stripes between, before removing the tape which came off easily as I used the low tack type.
The other side is done, but not as well!
